Just purchased my first handgun(XDm 9mm) and want to know what type practice ammo do you use?
I started out with a 115gr 250 rd box of Remmington UMC($65). Bought a 20rd box of 115gr Gold Dot($27) to keep at home.
I want to take it to the range on I-40 and see how it works. I have only shot at the NRA FIRST Step class. I have dry practiced with the new handgun, even field stripped it and back together and practiced loading and unloading the clips but haven't inserted them into to gun so far.
I think it wouldn't be any problem for me when I get to the range to load and shoot, but should I let someone there show me the ropes the first time?
Plus even though they showed us I need to buy cleanning equipment and see how to clean it, do they do that there as well?
